The Greatest Adventure

Violence and corruption fill the earth, and God is angry. To punish this wickedness God vows to flood the world. Only one man and his family will be spared because they alone honor God's laws. That man is Noah. God commands Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every kind of animal on the planet. As they go about constructing this massive boat, Noah and his sons must also put up with scorn and even sabotage from their sinful neighbors. But Noah and his family persevere, working day and night on their assignment from God. Noah's faith is vindicated when the heavens let forth with a torrent of rain that lasts for forty days. But God's test of Noah's courage and commitment is just beginning. Running time: Approximately 26 minutes. Recommended for ages 4 to 8. Languages: English and Spanish. Subtitles: English, Spanish, and French (program only). Closed captioned, Dolby Digital, standard version.
